Mobile Apps for University and School Students. And Teachers. Because we know you are tired of telling your students to stop using their smartphones during class. Now is the time to tell them to start using it.

If you a school teacher or professor that wants to use mobile technology, here are three things to do in the next 30 minutes. Yes, you can use this lunch break and be a mobile early adopter. We know you are tired of telling your students to stop using their smartphones during class. Now is the time to tell them to start using it. Here is how:

The mobile survey app helps teachers achieve three basic things (other than the joy of using their loved device right in front of you, for a change…):

actively engage students during the entire class period,

gauge their level of understanding of the material being presented, and

provide prompt feedback to student questions

Keep is simple. Do ask for the survey in the middle of the class, to test understanding and engage the class more. Don’t over do it…you want your students to ease into it. Later, you can become more sophisticated – with our platform you can use times quizzes. For example, ask 10 questions in 5 minutes. The mobile app will keep count from when the student started, and automatically stop when the time is up.

Once you get the basics in order, you can do synch surveys, where the entire class sees the same question at the same time, advancing at the same pace.

There is one more thing to keep in mind – anonymity of comments. You will know best how to use that – if you allow open form questions, keep in mind that the comments can be offensive to others. We suggest to start with multiple choice questions, simple survey. Your students will like the “game like” approach to class, which will engage them more than the traditional class discussion.
